What makes a good cup of coffee?

All the elements that go into brewing a cup of coffee determine one's overall coffee experience and the quality of every cup of coffee that we drink.

Everyone has a different sense of taste and what may be a good a cup of coffee to one person may be an awful cup of coffee to another - it is indeed all relative and subjective.

Tips for brewing a good cup of coffee:

• Use a drip coffee maker and a good quality filter. Make sure your coffee equipment is clean. Use baking soda and vinegar to clean your equipment instead of dish washing detergent which can effect the flavour.
• Use very hot but not boiling water - 68 to 79 °C. Make sure to use fresh filtered water.
• Buy good quality whole bean coffee beans and store them in an airtight container.
• Use fresh coffee beans for every cup (coffee beans lose their flavour if stored for an extended period of time), and grind your beans immediately before you brew a fresh cup of coffee. Do not re-heat already brewed coffee.
